About the Neighborhood

At the Creating Edge of Innovation

You can feel it, from the hum of Hudson Street to the vibrancy of Varick – ideas being forged, new businesses incubated, bright minds collaborating and the world watching. This is where the doers are – the place of big dreams and big results.

You’re in Hudson Square – where ambition meets action and the vibe is real and happening now. We’re New York’s creating edge, embraced by Soho and Tribeca, but defined by our dynamic fusion of fast-growing commercial and residential communities. All of us engaged, energized, and evolving, like Hudson Square itself.

Once home to whirring presses and printers’ magic, Hudson Square today hosts digital wizards, catering connoisseurs, brilliant broadcasters, talented trendsetters, serious scientists, and global brand beacons. They come for the creative energy, our human-scale streets, expansive office-space, and the excitement of a community on the move – where an industrious past is the foundation for a bold stake in what’s to come.

Here we envision new and unexpected green spaces, support an environmental ethos, and reimagine vintage loading docks as state-of-the-art lobbies and offices. Buildings constructed to shoulder giant machines are now home to leading technologies and media start-ups that inventing our future, while gleaming new apartments and loft-like offices offer unhindered views of the city and the world beyond.
Ours is a community purpose-built to take on big challenges and produce tremendous and beautiful results. Our sole mission at the Hudson Square BID is to propel, support, and celebrate this great neighborhood for what it is – one of the most energizing locations in the world’s most exciting city. We’re uniquely driven to succeed in New York’s bustling environment because we know where we’re going and are busy making it happen every day.
